Every Monday (or so) we will assess the team's overall impact and our ranking in relation to the rest of the Kiva community. As of 12 AM on 07/20/09 this is how things stand:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">TEAM IMPACT</span><br />Members: 77 - - - Ranking: 113 of 7,597<br />Loans: 333 - - - Ranking: 125 of 7,597<br />Money: $9675 - - - Ranking: 144 of 7597<br /><br />It's been a while since I've last checked in, but fortunately it has not prevented the team from moving forward and further expanding its roster. The team's ranking have remained steady within each of the measured categories and continues to place within the top 2% for each. This is a reflection of the dedication each member brings to the team to help others better their lives. A couple of significant events are growing ever-closer on the horizon: $10,000 loaned &amp; 100 members. Both will be landmark events for the team, but the real significance is those 300+ loans reflect the number dreams that are that much closer in reach. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer (now that is has finally arrived) and is well. Happy lending everyone!http://kivane.blogspot.com/2009/07/monday-morning-impact-072009.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Team New England)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701261926556857024.post-5561662582494389723Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:00:00 +00002009-03-16T02:19:34.520-04:00Monday Morning Impact - 03/16/09Hello Team New Englanders!

Every Monday we will assess the team's overall impact and our ranking in relation to the rest of the Kiva community.

It seems the economic slowdown is starting to assert itself in all facets of the economy including philanthropy as even with a slowed lending pace the team has maintained its position in nearly all available metrics. Unfortunately all indications point to further deterioration of world markets and the sad reality is when there is a slowdown of this magnitude it is always the least developed markets that are hurt the worst. With that in mind we must remember that with each loan we are not only helping individuals achieve their goals, but in many cases creating jobs in places that need them most. One loan can impact far more than the lone individual on the receiving end, it can benefit an entire community.<br /><br />Happy Lending everyone!http://kivane.blogspot.com/2008/11/monday-morning-impact-111708.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Team New England)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701261926556857024.post-2876385914286889047Mon, 03 Nov 2008 05:00:00 +00002008-11-17T02:00:28.566-05:00Monday Morning Impact - 11/03/08Hello Team New Englanders!

I suppose if you average the two weeks together however, the team is executing on its normal trend line. Here's to what should prove to be an exciting week on a multitude of levels.

This past week not only did the team pass the 100 loans mark, but later in the week it also surpassed $3000 level in total money loaned. Another significant development was the largest one week jump in membership with 7 new members joining the fold. With the team now roughly 30% larger than it was only one week earlier hopefully in time it will enable us to grow our overall impact and take the team to the next level.

We encourage anyone who visits this site and is interested in joining our pursuit of empowering people around the world to join us and tell their friends and family. Whether you currently reside in the northeast, are a displaced New Englander or simply find yourself associating with the region everyone is welcome!<br /><br />Once we get things up and running we will hopefully be adding more features to this site including message boards, various metrics to track team progress &amp; perhaps a central account members can opt into contributing to in order for the team to fully finance a loan on our own (all accounting will be fully transparent via Google Docs and all money loaned out once the team decides upon a loan). We'll just have to see how things progress.<br /><br />Other than that, welcome, WELCOME!http://kivane.blogspot.com/2008/09/welcome.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Team New England)0
